Operating Instructions

Using your TABEKE Tub Transfer Bench safely and effectively:

  1. Positioning: Place the bench with two legs inside the tub (suction cups) and two legs outside (rubber tips). Ensure the bench is stable and does not wobble.
  2. Transferring: Sit on the outer part of the bench. Use the armrest for support as you carefully swing your legs over the tub rim. Scoot across the seat until you are comfortably positioned inside the tub.
  3. Height Adjustment: The bench features 10 distinct height settings. Adjust the height to match your specific bathtub and personal comfort level. Ensure all legs are adjusted evenly.
  4. Reversible Backrest: The backrest can be reversed to accommodate left or right entry into the tub. To reverse, unscrew the 4 knobs under the seat, reverse the backrest position, and re-tighten the knobs.
